XFX GTX 280 Review

Testing:

PT Boats: Knights of the Sea is a new DX10 title that features its own proprietary graphics engine currently in development, and is a combination of Real Time Strategy and Simulation. You have the ability to control the entire crew or just a single member, and can play as the German, Russian or Allied navies to prove your mettle on the open seas.

The settings we will use are below:

• Anti-Aliasing: x0
• Image Quality: High
• Direct X Version: 10
• All resolutions: 60Hz

The performance drop off displayed by the 9800GTX once it reaches 1680x1050, is much more pronounced than that of the GTX 280. The GTX 280 performs as well as, or better than, the 9800GX2 in all four resolutions. It seems there's some serious GPU power there.
